Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
35. 1. Even after the chastity and purity of Yusuf (علیہ السلام) became clear, the only wisdom behind imprisoning Yusuf (علیہ السلام) could have been that the Aziz of Egypt wanted to keep Yusuf (علیہ السلام) away from his wife so that she would not try to trap Yusuf (علیہ السلام) in her snare again, as she intended to do so.
